Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The new 51 series of LCD panels from Samsung's state-of-the-art Gen 7 plant represent an exciting synthesis of design and technology. The thin bezel, hidden speaker cabinet design ensures clean lines as well as a sleek, contemporary look. For gaming enthusiasts, Samsung worked closely with Microsoft engineers to create a special Game Mode that optimizes image quality, sound and response time for realistic video game play. An RS232 port allows users to navigate the player's content on-screen with the LCD remote by connecting the device to the TV via RS232 cables. 51 Series HDTVs feature a 170 degree viewing angle and a 4000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for a true cinematic HDTV picture. Two HDMI connections make it easy to connect the entire range of digital peripheral devices and the unique ?swivel? stand lets users adjust the viewing angle to suit their needs. An integrated ATSC Tuner allows for off air reception of HDTV broadcasts (requires optional HDTV antenna).

Amazon.com Product Description
Bring your home entertainment together with the 32-inch Samsung LNS3251D LCD television, which includes an integrated HDTV tuner as well as connectivity options for your PC and portable digital audio players. The thin-profile, piano-black LNS3251D will look great in any bedroom or home entertainment cabinetry. The dual purpose pedestal stand can also be used as an articulating wall mount when it's folded back. Additionally, the stand can be removed for wall-mounting via optional VESA compatible hardware (such as Samsung wall mounting kit WMTL4001).

Samsung's DNIe™
Samsung's DNIe™ (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail.

Motion Optimizer: The visual data are automatically broken down into signal and noise and adjusted through a combined spatial/temporal process to eliminate noise and blurring without the slightest damage to the original signal. This guarantees the viewer a picture of astounding sharpness, whether the scene is still or moving.

Contrast Enhancer: DNIe has done away with the unwanted side-effects that conventional contrast enhancement can produce, such as noise boost-up and flicker by developing an algorithm that recognizes over 1 million criteria for applying contrast. Its detail contrast enhancement technology can automatically analyze up to 70,000 local images within a frame, treating the viewer to a picture rich in contrast even in the tiniest details.

Color optimizer: For each scene the color optimizer calculates the saturation of red, green, and blue in the input signal and adjusts it to the shades that the human eye accepts as natural. Even a conventional process like white tone enhancement produces more striking results when when used with DNIe. The end result is a palette of vivid hues and pure white tones to satisfy the most discerning viewers eye.

Detail enhancer: Many viewers complain of the unnatural effect that conventional uniform detail enhancement produces by relying on artificial amplification of the input signal. In contrast, DNIe automatically analyzes the portion to be amplified, detecting and re-processing any noise or defect to bring the viewer a startlingly sharp and lifelike image.
Featuring an LCD panel created in Samsung's state-of-the-art Gen 7 plant, the LNS3251D incorporate the latest cutting-edge developments in technology (as well as design). While viewing either very bright or very dark scenes, it can be difficult to distinguish main images which blend into the background. Samsung's Dynamic Contrast dramatically mitigates this problem by adjusting the backlight intensity, providing up to a 4x improvement in contrast. It offers support for a range of Samsung MP3 players and other portable digital audio devices, with an RS-232 port enabling you to navigate the player's content on-screen with the LCD remote by connecting the device to the TV via an RS-232 cable (included). Samsung also worked closely with Microsoft to create a special Game Mode that optimizes image quality, sound and response time for more realistic video game play--with just a single touch of a button. The Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response and enhances the sounds of your games.


Get a great view from anywhere in the room with this TVs great verticle and horizontal 178-degree viewing angle.
The LNS3251D features a stunning 4000:1 contrast ratio, 500 cd/m2 brightness rating (for brighter whites, deeper blacks, and every shade in between), a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution (for a widescreen 16:9 screen aspect ratio), 178-degree viewing angle, and a super-fast 8ms (millisecond) response time, which minimizes blurring of moving images and is especially helpful for sports and action movies.

The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Other convenience features include:

  • Picture-in-picture (PIP) enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources.
  • Built-in image scaler to handle inputs from a variety of digital and analog audio/video sources.
  • Parental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits.
  • Auto volume leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.
  • Multi-lingual on-screen displays in English, Spanish or French.

High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. This set utilizes Samsung's Dual Acoustic Chamber System technology, which isolates each woofer and tweeter in its own chamber. DACS is a revolutionary, computer-simulated technology that enhances lowrange sound performance, sharpens mid-to-high-range sound quality, and improves overall sound clarity. It produces 10 watts of power per channel (for 20 watts total). It offers the following connection options:

  • Composite (RCA audio/video): 2 inputs (1 on the side)
  • S-Video: 2 inputs (1 on the side)
  • Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 1 input
  • HDMI: 2 inputs
  • PC: 1 D-Sub15 input
  • RF: 2 inputs
  • Sound monitor output: 1
  • Digital optical audio ouput: 1
  • Headphone: 1
  • RS232 port: 1

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

TruSurround XT audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

  • Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
  • TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
  • The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

  Great LCD Value!   August 13, 2008
Hemisphere Dancer (Miami, Florida)
Great Set Last Year When I ordered it From Amazon based on a Consumer Reports Review saying at the time it was the Best Over-All Value. Decided to Move Up to the 40A650(1080P) and Will Put 32" Set in The Bedroom. Used Amazon's White Glove Delivery and The Entire Process, Including More Than $300 Savings Over My Local Best Buy or Circuit City, Was Without Exception...A Great Value. Highly Recommend! NOTE: In Stock & Ordered From Amazon.

I bought a different brand first and it lasted about 2 months. What a nightmare getting my money back on that one. I replaced that one with the Samsung and have had no problems. HD is wonderful.

  Ok but has problems with picture distortion and grayed out functions   January 16, 2008

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My parents bought this tv about a year ago when it was $1500.00. The tv may be ok for the money now, but it sure was not worth what they paid and my mother has said several times they wish they had not bought it. The biggest issue is distortion at 16:4 of objects. They appear too wide and there is NO adjustment for this (according to the manual) which is crazy for a tv that cost this much. The other problem that won't bother too many people is a missing feature for pc input. The manual claims this model has this feature yet the menu will not allow you to select it as a source (with or without a pc connected). It is grayed out and if you look at Samsung's website you will see this is a common complaint that is mentioned in the faq yet no mention on how to actually solve it. Probably just a software bug as the tv has the vga connector but they should not have released the tv until these issues were resolved. Hopefully newer models have these problems corrected but stay away unless you get it really cheap.



  Excellent TV   October 10, 2007
Andy (Tennessee)
I have had this TV for several months now, and I must say that I am very happy. The picture is bright, sharp, and colorful. HD DVD and Blu-Ray discs look excellent on this set, and it is really the best way to use this set. Standard DVDs look very good, but would probably be better with a DVD player that up-converts standard DVDs to HD quality. Standard cable TV looks good, but not as good as on a conventional tube TV. The menus are easy to navigate.

Energy consumption: First, this TV puts off some heat. Not as bad as a plasma, but I definitely feel the heat on my hand within 4 to 5 inches of the screen. The screen gets very warm to the touch, but not hot. The set has an energy saving feature that can be controlled from the remote. The energy saving feature has four settings (Off, Low, Med, and High). The 'off' setting gives you the brightest and most colorful picture. I only use this setting for watching movies, or if the room lighting is very bright. The 'high' setting reduces the brightness of the screen, and considerably cuts down on the heat output. Personally, I use the 'medium' and 'high' settings for most of my regular TV viewing.

My only real complaint of this set is the remote. It has a poor layout, with the number buttons near the top and the 'Enter' button on the lower part of the remote. If you enter channel selections directly, you have to awkwardly shift your hand to hit the enter button. The most annoying thing about the remote is the fact that you have to point it directly at the TV for it to work (no bouncing signals off the walls like most remotes). If you are pointing the remote off center of the TV by just a few degrees, it won't work. I don't know if it a design problem with the remote or the sensor in the TV, but it sucks. Whoever designed it that way should be taken out back and flogged!

Overall, a great TV that I highly recommend. I took one star away because of the design of the remote. Happy viewing!
